I was reassured that I had a brother, even if we were thousands of miles apart There was always hope for us to meet. Until you called me, brother, and told me you only had a few weeks left I told you to live for me and to reject the idea of ​​death So you talked to me every day , and this reassured my heart I was racing against time to find a trip, to be by your side And as soon as I found the trip, death let me down and took you from me. I screamed at the top of my voice, why didn't you wait for me Why did death sneak up like a thief and snatch you from me?? With your death, my brother, a large part of my heart and soul went with you. And after you, I became the remains of a shattered sister, heartbroken by your death There is no language to describe the grief that drowned me And there are no words that are appropriate for Elegy you Because you are greater than words ,and more precious than any consolation. My dearest Nabil , you have not and will not die. You will remain forever living in my heart. Your grieving sister, Fitam

My dearest sister Mari it is never too late to remember and honor a loved one. Nabil was part of your life and became part of our family. I know it is the hardest pain to 😓 endure. I want to express my sympathy and condolences 💐 his loss made a great impact on you. You both were inseparable. I remember all those 76 days you were in the hospital making sure he was in good spirits many heart breaking moments twice ending up in ICU. Life itself has an expiration date when it’s up none of us have any power. Just remember him, I know he will always be in your ♥️ s special place. This is for you Nabil Ali E and you Mari my dear sister 🤗 Your sister in Law Terri Nikoyan
